Nigeria’s food and beverage company, Rite Foods Limited, reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the highest standards of food safety, quality, and consumer well-being.
Themed: ‘Food Safety: Science in Action,’ this year’s observance emphasises the critical role of science, innovation, and collective responsibility in ensuring the food “we eat is safe. At Rite Foods, this theme resonates deeply with our operational philosophy, where food safety is not just a goal but a culture deeply ingrained across all levels of our organisation. Food safety is more than a priority for us, it’s a culture we live every day,” said managing director/CEO of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa.
“From sourcing raw materials to production, packaging, and distribution, we apply global best practices backed by science, innovation, and a team that is passionately committed to excellence,”he stated.
In line with the global observance, Rite Foods organised a week-long series of internal activities aimed at raising awareness, reinforcing hygiene practices, and fostering personal responsibility among its workforce. These included interactive sensitisation sessions, handwashing demonstrations across shifts, cross-departmental discussions, and food safety pledges written and displayed by employees. Staff also participated in a company-wide food safety quiz to reinforce their knowledge and boost engagement.
The company took time to recognise the often-unsung heroes of its food safety system, its Quality Control team, whose diligence ensures that every product leaving the production line adheres to internationally recognised standards.
Backed by certifications such as ISO 22000:2018 and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Rite Foods continues to set the benchmark in delivering safe, high-quality products to Nigerian consumers, from the bold Fearless Energy Drink and refreshing Bigi range, to the satisfying Rite sausages and juicy Sosa fruit drinks.
